Why I Think The "progress" Flag Is Actually Regressive.

Why I think the "progress" flag is actually regressive.

apparently it's time for me to get mad about the "progress" flag again…

I've always had major problems with the "progress" flag, it if anything is separating us further as a community whereas the regular Rainbow as it was is all encompassing.

As a brown person I just find the flag sickening... what does skin colour or illness have to do with my Queerness? NOTHING. I know some will try to say "well it's because we're all discriminated against!" but the reasons for discrimination are completely none related... and I see the flag as discriminating... having Black and Brown represent AIDS and HIV aswell as Skin colour, on a flag meant for queer people further make it out like it's the "Gay/Brown people virus" which... is fucked up. I am saying this as a brown disabled gay trans man... I do not like this damn flag and never will.

it doesn't help that the creator, Daniel Quasar, is a white person (at least as far as I know)... this is a form of what is known as "positive racism" Virtue signalling and white guilt. I am sick of it all and have faced it my entire life… do people not realise by being this way they dehumanise people like me? they treat me like I'm another species they can't properly comprehend because they're white and I'm not. I don't know who needs to hear this but you are not a bad person just because you are white!... you are also being racist to yourselves through your white guilt and it makes me sad… we're all just people on a tiny space rock. quit trying to appease us by being racist! just treat me like a person!

mmm Pride month Am I right fellas?
